After five years on the job as Dean of the College, Harry R. Lewis '68 has written a report about the strengths and shortcomings of his domain, dropping a clue to students about which aspects of College life will likely see changes in the near future...
...easy for a man who owns a waterfall--and has managed an oil company--to discuss the privatization of the environment. Bush will always have his backyard, and one can almost guarantee that no pollution will ever touch that domain. Yet the environment affects--perhaps with even greater impact--those who do not enjoy such privileges.

In fact, because it is not a recognized legal body, the Ad Board does not have access to results of hospital-administered rape tests. Ad Board investigations are thus a drawn-out series of statements between the accused rapist and the victim...
